When God closes a door, he opens another one

My Coffee By Candlelight Night did not go well as planned, however, because I'm the kind of person that I am and see the big picture, I was not upset. A little disappointed, yes, but I got over it in a matter of minutes. LOL Truly, I did!

Here's why:
I was out of the house taking a break from my kids; the place was BEAUTIFUL after we set it up and with the staff's help; I was with my best friends, business partner, another awesome Bella Buddy not on my team, and 2 colleagues from another network group; I was dressed "to the hilt" (lol); I was relaxed and got to recharge my "batteries", and........got 3 possible home parties AND sold 1 jar!!!

This may not sound like much but to me, this was the ultimate night out that I needed for a long time. :-) I left the place feeling refreshed and ready to conquer tomorrow with new ideas and thinking about how the next Coffee By Candlelight would be better. I was truly grateful for such a nice night, you had to be there to understand, lol.

The next day, God opened another door in the form of an email from my upline. This email said that a school was looking to get samples and such for a Fundraiser event they were doing in October. Well guess what?? I JUST HAPENED to have 50 wrapped votives ready to go! How cool is that??!! And I even had some melts ready to go too. The kicker is......another set of votives AND the melts are enough to get me a complimentary double page ad of advertising in their booklet which will be given out to over 500 women at this event!

BINGO!!! :-)

Did I say I was disappointed??? Oh disappointment shmisappointment, LOL LOL

And that my friends, is how the Law of Attraction and Gratitude works. THAT is the REALITY. I rather like this reality much better. :-)

If you can remember one thing, let it be that wherever you're at in your emotions, feelings, financially, spiritually, is what you'll see in front of you. It's all about perception. That's why 2 people can look at the same thing and see something different. :-)

Two teammates crossline from me sent nice posts to a group I'm on where we all share success stories, tips, advice, and encouragement for our candle business. I thought I'd share the posts/stories so you can enjoy them too. The first one, I apologize, I do not know who the author is that wrote it but I like it just the same. The 2nd one is funny but it's so true, lol. ;-)

An Old Man and His 3 Sons
An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their entire living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?
==========================================
The very wise son bought a candle and a box of matches. After lighting the candle, the light filled the entire room.



If I'm Dreaming, Don't Wake Me!!
Once upon a time, an ambitious woman enters a successful store with a reputation for beautiful, fine quality merchandise. She walked right up to the owner and said, "Sir, I am very impressed with your establishment. I'd like to come on board and build a career here. I can promise you that I'll work hard and do a great job. In return, I ask for the following:

1. First, I'd like to earn 50% commission on everything I sell.

2. Then, if I bring in and train new people, I think I deserve some commission on everything they sell.

3. Now, when I do well, I expect lots of praise and recognition, not to mention products, special rewards and gifts.

4. By the way, I'm afraid I'm not into the 9 to 5 scene. So, I'll want to set my own schedule and work when it suits me best.

5. And of course, my family ALWAYS comes first.

Okay, I think that's about it. So, when can I start? After the storeowner recovered from the shock, he roared with laughter, "Lady, you can't be serious! You're living in a dream world. You'll never find an opportunity like that ANYWHERE!"

HE WAS WRONG!
I found that opportunity as a Mia Bella Distributor!!
